In short

A good holiday message for work thanks people for the year, wishes them a restful season and looks ahead. If you are not sure who celebrates what, use inclusive season's greetings. Send it before people log off for the holidays, usually in the second or third week of December.

How to use these

  1. 1

    Choose Christmas or inclusive. Use “Merry Christmas” for people you know celebrate it, and season's greetings for everyone else.

  2. 2

    Thank them for the year. One specific line about the year, a project, a hard week, a win, makes a holiday card feel personal.

  3. 3

    Send before the break. Mid-December, before people switch off. Peoplewisher can schedule it for everyone at once.

{firstname} and {business_name} fill in automatically in Peoplewisher. Copying by hand? Swap in their name and your company name.

Common questions

When should I send holiday messages to employees and clients?

Mid-December, before most people log off. For the New Year, send on December 31 or in the first working days of January.

Should I say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays at work?

Use “Merry Christmas” for people you know celebrate it. For mixed teams and clients, inclusive season's greetings are the safe choice.

What should a CEO write in an end-of-year message to employees?

Thank people for specific things the team did this year, acknowledge what was hard, and tell them to switch off properly. Keep it personal and short enough to read on a phone.

Can I schedule holiday messages to everyone at once?

Yes. Peoplewisher sends Christmas, New Year, Eid, Diwali and other holiday greetings to everyone on your list on the right day, by email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack or Teams.
